Normally, the mouse wheel will switch between weapons. It is best to swap weapons with the number keys at the top of the keyboard. Splitgate has other uses for the mouse wheel.

Instead of using letter keys to access portals, the mouse wheel has been proven to be the best option. Then to close them, using mouse buttons on the sides with your thumb.

Excited to try out some new keybinds tomorrow 💪

This means you will need a mouse with those buttons available, though. If you don't, you will need to determine other keybinds for closing the left and right portals in Splitgate.
